Your parents are getting divorced. Now, once you turn 16, you'll be doomed to a pitiful existence on the lowest rungs of society. The neighbor girl got plastic surgery for your sake and is levelling fast to impress you. A Sleeping God gave you its power, but now demands absolute loyalty and obedience, even in real life. Something called the Destroying Plague wants its Emissary to infect everyone alive and, as luck would have it, that Emissary is you! But the city sees you as its salvation, not a cause of great suffering.

Disappointment is a universal human experience. Dreams collapse. Plans change. Prayers seem unanswered. Doors close without explanation. At times life simply does not unfold the way we expected.

Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt (Willingheart, God’s Peaceful Smithy) explores why Jesus concealed His identity until the Cross and Resurrection. Through Scripture, teaching, meditation, personal reflection, poetry, and prayer, this book uncovers the wisdom of God’s timing: ...

Rather than explaining silence away, this book explores how darkness, waiting, and unanswered prayer can become places of encounter rather than abandonment. Drawing from Scripture—Job’s unanswered questions, the unresolved lament of Psalm 88, Jesus’ silence in the wilderness, the cry from the cross, and the long waiting of Holy Saturday—this study traces a quiet, faithful path through the places where explanations fail....
